عنوان دی وی دی 16:9
Explanation:
16:9 is the "aspect ratio" of the new wide screen TVs. This means the ratio of the width is 16 to 9 for the height. The older style TVs are 4:3. If you show a film designed for 4:3 TVs on a 16:9 screen it will be stretched horizontally.

16:9 dvd title
دی وی دی 16:9


Explanation:
DVD title in general refers to DVD format and not the name of a specific DVD. If you search internet pages, you will find sentences like "changing 4:3 to 16:9 DVD title" or "Changing VCD to DVD title". It is clear that "title" is not used to mean "Name" or "Brand". Indeed, title means "format" here.

Please check Nero Smart Start (DVD Burning Software) help menu.

The translation of the example sentence will be:
در هنگام پخش دی وی دی 16:9 تصویر کشیده می شود
and not
در هنگام پخش عنوان دی وی دی 16:9 تصویر کشیده می شود

In the easiest form, I can say that "DVD title" means دی وی دی غیر خام.
هر دی وی دی است که محتوی فیلم، موسیقی، یا غیره باشد DVD title

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you. At first I thought so; however, I came across the following sentence later on: If you play 4:3 format DVD titles, please change the format to 4:3 in the projector OSD. Therefore, "title" clearly does not mean format.

Asker: Thank you very much.
